STRUCTURE GLAZING
Structure Glazing refers to a method of retaining the glass in a window, store front or curtain wall.Instead of the edges of the glazing being captured in a pocket of the framing and secured in place with gaskets, the structurally-glazed glass is retained on one or more sides by an adhesive, normally silicone.
Structural Glazing is one of the fastest-growing and most innovative forms of curtainwall construction the commercial facade mark: has seen in many years.
MATERIALS TO BE USED IN GLAZING
GLASS
100% RECYCLABLE MATERIAL
ALUMINIUM
LESS WEIGHT, BUT HIGH STRNGTH
EPDM
ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DI AMINE MONOMER.WEATHERPROOF JOINT SEALANTS, TO PREVENT WATER AND AIR ENTERING.
STAINLESS STEEL
USED AS FRAMING MATERIAL
SPIDER GLAZING OR BOLTED GLAZING
STRUCTURE GLAZING
With the advent of science and technology curtain walls and frame-less glass systems have become popular and are finding wide applications. Spider Glazing is a part of the frame-less glass system where they provide a flush external appearance with uninterrupted views
SPIDER GLAZING SPECIFICATIONS
Spider glazing is a very flexible and contemporary design medium that can create designs with vast expanse of glass, frame-less entrances and canopies.
All doors and windows can be inserted in the spider glass area
Tempered or heat soaked glass can be used in spider glazing systems so as to have the performance of a safety glass facade. The glass thickness that is used is usually 12mm thick.
The spider glazing is designed to resist wind pressure. It can be fixed with either 2 way spiders or 4 way SS spiders fitting options.Fin glass support could also be used to resist wind pressure.
Silicone Sealants and gaskets are used to make the glass frames watertight.
Allows full penetration of natural light into the interiors, certain types of glass prevent the absorption of UV light.
Spider glazing is easy to install and maintain.
BENEFITS OF INSTALLING SPIDER GLAZING
FLEXIBILITY
Spider Glazing is a flexible medium. One can create various designs for canopies and frame-less entrances per the need and requirement. This glazing solution comes with a swarn of glass hardware fittings that can be customized according to the glass’s condition and thickness.
TRANSPARENCY
Spider Glazing offers maximum transparency and ensures the entry of natural light into the building interiors. Therefore, Spider-Glazing Curtain Wall sare widely used to provide day light to commercial buildings. Being visually attractive, they are also used to create quality building skins. Since they are available in unique designs and allow brightness optimization, they are the one choice for canopies, curtain walls, and atriums.
EASY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
Owing to their easy installation and maintenance, Spider Glazing systems are widely used in offices and building complexes. All UPVC doors & windows can easily be inserted in spider glass areas.
WEATHER AND RUST-PROOFING
There is always the factor of unstable and inclement weather conditions tampering with the structure’s durability. However, modern –day spider glazing in highly weather and water-proof. the stainless steel material used in construction prevents any ill effects of rusting.
